Don’t you love it when fashion designers start to deliver trends that flatter your figure? The beauty of high-waisted jeans is that they tuck everything in and keep everything covered. Standing up, sitting down, bending over—you can move with complete confidence. This style draws attention away from your hips and is super comfortable in any length or form.
High-Waisted Jeans Should Frame Your Figure
As with any article of clothing, if you’re going to get a pair, make sure you keep the focus on whether or not they flatter you. If a particular style of high-waisted jeans make you look out of proportion—keep looking. We’ve done all of the hard work for you and found the most flattering styles that are sure hits. It’s a lot harder to find these than you would think! So hopefully we’re saving you some leg work
Cozy at Home
We’re doing so much more at home these days, it’s easy to get lazy about getting dressed. The comfort level of high-waisted jeans is perfect for sitting down or moving about. They look perfect with a tucked in graphic tee or cropped blouse.
70s on Trend
If you are a sucker for vintage, we suggest you look for denim hailing from the 70s or 80s. Vintage high-rise jeans can offer waist or pocket details and look super legit in wide or flared leg styles. Try to find a pair with square front pockets. They help flatter that part in the front the same way they do your behind.
Work-essential denim
One of the biggest features of this waist style is how terrific a blouse looks tucked into it. Opt for high-waisted jeans and a fitted button down blouse for office chic. This outfit combo is super versatile for travel and looks terrific in any color denim.
Flared Up
Another detail to pay attention to is the hem style. Shopping for high-waisted jeans is easy when you know what to look for. Wide bottom hems help ensure you don’t create the dreaded oval or pear shape. This is especially true you are going to wear them with the waist exposed.
Travel On
This is also a perfect style of denim for travel. Pack a pair or high-waisted jeans and the rest of your outfit is easy! A couple of tees keeps the packing light and you can change things up with accessories. Pick your favorite pair of statement-making sunglasses and a top handle purse to hit the road in style.
High-waist, Low Footwear
Keep your footwear on the low side when pairing with this style. Most high-waisted jeans elongate your legs enough that you don’t need a towering heel. One-inch soles are sufficient and tennis shoes are a no-brainer.
